MNC Wireless Bringing A New Way To Discover Music With WOWLOUD, Asia's First Cloud Music Service

Online, October 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - MNC Wireless Berhad ("MNC" or "the Company"), a mobile and internet media specialist today announced the release of WOWLOUD, a one of a kind cloud music service that is set to revolutionise the way music is available to the masses. WOWLOUD brings together the biggest collection of music from the hard-to-find old favourites to the newly released songs from various genres and languages that are readily available without the need to search for where to download or to go to the CD store.

"It is undoubtedly obvious that the internet has changed the way people consume music and this is an exciting step for us being at the forefront of delivering that change with the launch of WOWLOUD. We want to offer WOWLOUD users access to all the music around the world. Hence, we work with all the major music labels as well as the independent music labels to get your music out there onto the WOWLOUD service," commented Chung Jaan Hao, CEO of MNC at the launch of WOWLOUD.

The Company has entered into licensing agreements with Universal Music, Warner Music, Sony Music Entertainment and One Stop Music on the use of the record companies' music on WOWLOUD. With all four of the major recording labels jumping on the bandwagon, users can expect a myriad of songs on WOWLOUD ranging from international to Asian catalogues and more. The song database is continuously growing with new songs being added each week.

WOWLOUD is currently available in two options in either WOWLOUD Free or WOWLOUD Premium.

• WOWLOUD Free - a free, advertising-supported plan that gives users instant access to the full collection of songs for up to 20 hours a month. To enjoy WOWLOUD Free, users have to receive a WOWLOUD Free invitation which can be requested via wowloud.com and later made available via selected sponsorship partners' websites.

• WOWLOUD Premium - users can subscribe for WOWLOUD Premium plan where they can immediately activate their account without waiting for an invitation. By subscribing to WOWLOUD Premium, users enjoy unlimited access at an enhanced sound quality and uninterrupted by advertisements.

To celebrate the launch, MNC is offering an introductory promotional prize of just RM9.90 per month for the subscription to WOWLOUD Premium. For WOWLOUD Free, MNC is offering unlimited streaming access without the 20 hour per month cap. These promotional offers will be available for a limited time only to commensurate the launch of WOWLOUD in Malaysia.

"We believe that subscription streaming services are going to be the future of how music is consumed and WOWLOUD has been carefully crafted to provide users with the best possible music experience. All users need is a computer with internet connection and they can begin a journey of music discovery that allows them to find songs which they like but may have overlooked through other media," added Jaan Hao.

WOWLOUD is currently only accessible to users from their personal computers. However the mobile version of WOWLOUD is already in the pipeline. The Company is already working on the Premium+ plan which will make WOWLOUD available to users on smartphone devices ranging from iPhone and Android phones to subsequently tablet devices.
